Greetings from Graph EXPO!
This edition of the eLetter will be distributed while I am attending Graph EXPO in Chicago, IL.  In fact, many of you may be here with me and Print Buyers Online.com's Associate Editor, Sarah Channing Grieboski.  I am sure you are as excited as we are to learn the newest technologies in the print industry - and to catch up with old colleagues and friends.  We look forward to sharing our experiences with you in our next eLetter.
 
Morgan to Give "Trends in Print Buying" Seminar
If you happen to be attending Graph EXPO in Chicago on Tuesday, October 28th, you are invited to stop by the Heidelberg booth at Graph EXPO to hear Suzanne Morgan's "Trends in Print Buying" seminar.  She will be covering the latest research on print buyers including how the economy is affecting buying companies and sustainability in print.  This complimentary seminar is sponsored by our strategic partner Heidelberg.  Hope to see you there!
 
Planning to Host a Reception at Print Oasis?  Better Hurry!
At our annual Print Oasis Print Buyers Conference and Exhibit, organizations who host memorable events create the most brand equity. The Elegant Poolside Reception was just reserved by Foster Printing Services, and other events are in the pipeline to be secured. 
 
I encourage you to reserve the reception you wish to sponsor as soon as possible so you don't miss out on one of the easiest ways to remain in the minds of the print buyers long after the conference is behind us.  For information on sponsorship opportunities, visit
http://printoasis.com/media/PrintOasis2009_ExhibitorProspectus.pdf or contact Kimberlee Sautter at ksautter@printbuyersonline.com or 703-534-9305.

Thrives their helter-skelter play."
